OpsMgr 2007 Maintenance Mode without OpsMgr Admin Rights

I know some of you have used earlier version of this and this post is to let you know there is an update for my Agent Maintenance Mode solution.

It allows you to start Maintenance Mode from an monitored server using just a vbscript. Using this requires absolutely no permissions in Operations Manager.

The MaintMode.vbs writes an event to the event log that indicates the length of time Maintenance Mode should remain on. This is picked up by the management pack and processed on the RMS to turn on Maintenance Mode for that server. The on time can be specified in days, hours or minutes.
